What fruiting body ISN'T mutated in some way. The albino mushroom was not albino due to enviormental issues, once that primordia started cooking he knew he would be albino.
In the case of the mushroom thats the topic of the post, whatever happend to it was 'happening' while it was forming.
You can see how saturated developing fruits can look very different from the flushes before and after. Like a tree growing around a rock, or the flesh on a mushroom trying to deal with pooling bodies of water on the caps while it grows.
You know what, I am gonna have some spawn ready soon, I will make a grow and try to replicate more so. I'll tweak one to express the ripples, and one thats the oppisite.

It's fine, no contams. Some are darker than others, plus I think your camera maybe is making it look even darker.
KSSS caps are often dark brown.

IMO, the cap is dark because you didn't let it completely open and flatten out before picking it. Notice how pin heads are dark and slowly lighten as the caps open. Once completely open, they are much lighter than they were as pins. It also looks like there are some spores on top of the cap.

True, true, but you know for max potency per gram you should harvest before the veil even tears. I am sure you know that, just adding a few cents.

Yes, but for printing you want the caps nice and flat.
